Wow, I checked the table of provisional results on RBR, and is a bit discouraging see my name so far away from the leaders haha

I actually enjoyed the X2019 at the Ring in the new challenge againt the AI (whatever its called), such a nice flow and much corners flat out, it's amazing in VR also, but knowing how aliens usually do at this track, especially our Japanese friends, I guess I'll be at least 10 seconds behind

Based on the leaderboard times for that challenge I'm about 30s a lap behind. Think I'll skip that one, getting even 3rd in the race was annoying enough.
Always have problems with the middle section of GVH using the Gr cars, so a good chance to figure it out in a nice slow car.

I think I have to side with @SPDN Stefano here. The "prize" for many people certainly in this thread isn't the credits that come with gold, silver or bronze, but the bragging rights of placing high on the leaderboard, also especially the GTP leaderboard. I'd rather see "people" compete there than "accounts". Then again I never really understood the appeal of maintaining multiple accounts in the first place (other than being able to re-play the single player campaign), but that's just me.

Yeah that is what it really boils down to. Competing with real people for position on the leaderboard, not battling a guy with three accounts and another guy with five. My PB on GT time trials is like 279th on Lake Louise. How many duplicate accounts were ahead of me? I don't know. It makes the statistics meaningless.

Don't know if that was intended, but it sounds like you're saying "I don't mind it as long as the duplicates are behind me"

Ban them all before it's too late!Don't know if that was intended, but it sounds like you're saying "I don't mind it as long as the duplicates are behind me"
(Actually I think visually it's not nice to have 3 of the same person in a big group, if they are 100+ places apart then nobody would really notice - imo)

Here's the latest guide for those wanting some fun at Grand Valley! It's a fantastic time trial, not sure whether I'll touch the redbull at nurburgring as I can't imagine anything worse. I actually don't even want to watch the Nations final either due to that combo.

You know always look at bright side of life, so I am home sick, fever and things included in that..but Grand Walley wohoooo... Nice one...I mean until Jeddah joins since he loves this kinda of TTs and drop time by a second or two..
Anyhow, first session under fever, happy with that.

Yeah, you guessed right. But we got one for humans too which is nice 🙂
(I understand sponsorship money and so on but not tempted to take X2019 for a spin on green hell)

I'm 12 seconds away from gold 🤣, Invalidated lap, but I'm miles away, I was following a gold ghost, and in every sector I was seconds slower.
Regarding the multiaccount subject, I don't understand the goal of doing that, I prefer see in the leaderboard one time per person, in the end is what it matters.

Grand Walley TT is fun, already under 1% on my second session, love this one 🤩

Put up a couple bronze times with the controller for my daily marathon this morning. Potentially gold at Grand Valley. Not sure what the future holds in the X2019. Silver is 30 seconds off. Ugh. I'm not real happy about adding a bronze to the tally at Catalunya this morning but otoh my time was in the top 5% of all players which is higher than my average in the TTs so oh well.

I guess it would depend on your perspective and mindset.
I can understand how you might think it is only important if it affects the Top 10, as by my records you have not been in the top 10 in GT7, but have been in the top 100 4 times.
SELECT a.evt_name, b.psn_id, c.psn_result from events a JOIN evt_results c ON a.evt_id=c.evt_id JOIN all_contestants b on c.uuid=b.uuid WHERE b.psn_id='Nebu-72' and c.psn_result < 100
evt_name | psn_id | psn_result
----------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------+------------
Daytona Road Course - Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) 22 | Nebu-72 | 83
Watkins Glen Short Course - Alpine A110 Première Édition 17 | Nebu-72 | 46
Grand Valley - South - Wicked Fabrication GT 51 | Nebu-72 | 88
Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit - Genesis G70 3.3T AWD Prestige Package 22 | Nebu-72 | 59
(4 rows)
Whereas for someone who has never been in the top 100 it might be very important.
SELECT min(c.psn_result) from events a JOIN evt_results c ON a.evt_id=c.evt_id JOIN all_contestants b on c.uuid=b.uuid WHERE b.psn_id= 'SPDN Stefano' ;
------
1026
And to someone like me who suffers from 'imposter syndrome' ( as diagnosed by @crome )I can understand how it might be important to validate your time with multiple results.
As usual YMMV.

For my personal enlightenment and data integrity purposes.... I am not showing you as having participated at Lake Louise TT56, Did you previously have a different PSN id ? Thanks.

Did "exploration" laps as you say too. 5 of them. 3 of them invalidated, 2 by going too wide at turn 3 (lap 1 and 4), 1 by being a bit too much on the inside at turn 14 (lap 5...) :
Not so far from gold, but I feel like I am already close to my limits and the gold time will go down quickly too, so not very optimistic.
Combo is nice though, not easy to maintain control over the car but fun.

My goal was to get into 6:2xses, and I managed that. Will wait till next week to see where gold time ends up before trying again, if it look achievable..

No I was referring to the recent Michelin TT at Lake Louise with the Hyundai. But I guess my PB there doesn't really count because it was Europeans only lol.

Thanks, that explains why I didn't see it or know about it.
I appreciate you taking the time to help me.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming! The aliens can take care of the satellites this week and I'll enjoy the reception down here 👍🏻.
ASM is much slower on this one. Countersteering may be of some use though! Have fun GTP!

Yep, my record was also in that TT, but doesnt count as was Europe only
Not bad my latest results for a B rating driver tho, my consolation prize haha.
Nurburgring is insanely difficult, if I can get silver will be a miracle.
